Flaky white fish, tomatoes, jalapeños, cilantro and lime topped with avocado. A fresh and flavorful way to spice up fish, quick enough to make for a busy weeknight!

I like it spicy, so I chop up the jalapeños whole, seeds and all but you can tone it down to suit your taste. The avocado raises the fat in this dish, but it's all good healthy fats you want in your body, the saturated fat is under 2 grams per serving.

Serve this meal with a Skinnygirl margarita and some salsa music in the background and let the fiesta begin!

Place tilapia on the skillet and cook until the flesh starts to flake. Add jalapeño peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and lime juice. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, breaking up the fish with the spoon to get everything mixed well; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, heat tortillas on a skillet a few minutes on each side to warm (no oil needed). Serve a little over 1/4 cup of fish on each warmed tortillas with a slice or 2 of avocado and enjoy!

I just made fish tacos last night for dinner, but yours look delicious too. I made them with brown rice and your recipe for cuban black beans. I love using Tilapia! I will be making these very soon, they look fantastic!

hey Gina, I've been making fish tacos for a few months now using different recipes of yours. I LOVE the chipotle lime sauce from the crab cakes and I bake up some fish using your fish piccata recipe, throw it all in la tortilla factory corn tortillas with some chopped cabbage, salsa and avocado! So good, thank you for giving me a new one to try!

Saw this pop up today, so I figured I would surprise my wife with them for Valentines Day dinner. Well, they were a hit with her and the kids, in fact two out of the three kids went back for a third taco. This got "thumbs up" all the way around, and they are so simple to make. I did add a little cumin while cooking to add that certain something, and shredded lettuce at the table. Thanks for the recipe, it's a winner in our house.

What fish could I use besides tilapia--not a big fan of tilapia!? Thank you for your great ideas and recipes-you have changed my WW life! Made the Herb crusted beef last night and it was fabulous!! My valentine loved it!!

I Am allergic to fish, but could I substitute tofu some how? I'm thinking marinating the tofu in cilantro and lime and chili oil, then baking or sauteing and adding the toppings. Well, I'm definitely going to try something! Thanks for the idea.

I tried this tonight...didn't exactly turn out! I wouldn't recommend the tofu, personally. But then again, I'm still new to experimenting with tofu so maybe I did something wrong! The flavors were just super bland.

Hey Gina.. I'm really looking forward to trying this. I'm a first time poster but have been lurking around and trying your recipes for 2 weeks now. I only just joined WW and have found that the fun I have in the kitchen cooking your recipes have really kept me on track. I've never in my life tried a fish taco before .. but I will say I am a HUGE fan of tacos so I'm going to give this a shot on the weekend. I was wondering I'm use to Salsa and sour Cream and Cheese on my tacos .. do you think a guacamole would pair okay with fish??

Ooh better yet !! I just found your Creamy Cilantro Tomatillo Dressing.. it's only 1 point.. the flavors sound like they would combine nicely and I'd get that creamyness I'd be missing. I adore your website Gina!

I love this, but I plan to cheat a little with Rotel tomatoes. I would definitely use fresh in the summer, but at this time of year, I stock up on Rotel Tomatoes with Lime and Cilantro (my grocery usually has it 10 for $10).

As hard as I try, I just cannot get myself to like avocados (or cilantro)...Do you recommend any items to substitute them? Or do you think the tacos will taste alright just leaving those 2 ingredients out? Also, how does the point value change when the avocados are not added?

So I made these tonight, OMG sooo goood!!!! I can say I like these way better than any fish taco stand in Mexico!! My husband agrees. Tomorrow we are having a get together for a friends birthday, and are most certainly cooking these up...probably like 30! So good, thanks for sharing this ever so delicious recipe!!!

p.s..i added extra spice and cilantro, because I love the two of them. mmmmmmm.

Made a variation of these last night. Didn't have any tomatoes or jalapenos so I subbed a can of rotel drained, added some other spices and did not have any cilantro! But they were still delicious! I never thought to put tomatoes in my fish tacos and it was awesome! Love all your recipes. Thanks!

These were delicious,Gina. Thank you for providing my recipes for everyday of the week.........my whole family loves them and they are so easy!!One suggestion for left over fish tacos is taking the filling and spreading it over tortilla chips and sprinking with cheese for delicious nachos!!

I made these last night and they were awesome. Like others, my pantry required changes.. halibut for tilapia and chili flakes for jalapenos. I also sprinkled some sliced mango on top. DELISH! Another leftover suggestion... the tomato and onion made me think of bruschetta, so I sliced a baguette really thin, sprinkled with a tiny bit of parmesan and popped it under the broiler for my lunch today. YUM! (it is also good cold in a pinch ;)

Do the calories and point plus include the tortillas and avocado slices for the two tacos. I live in South Texas and we have different types of white corn tortillas will it matter if I change them from La tortilla factory

WOW... These are so good! I loved these! It's very filling yet it's still light! I served it with some black beans! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes and helping me with my Weight Watchers meals! Keep up the great work!

These are DEEEELICIOUS!!! So simple to make too which is always a plus on weeknights. AND the best part, my teenage son told me these were the best thing I have made besides thanksgiving dinner LOL!! Thank you!

Thank you SO much for all your delicious recipes! This week, I made these tacos, the Cajun Chicken Pasta, and then Lasagna Rolls last night. Each dish was absolutely amazing and a hit with my family! Since I have been counting calories and using your recipes over the past 1.5 months, I have lost 17 pounds and counting :-) I love how you are seasonal with your recipes too! Keep them coming!!

This recipe was a delicious way to kick off Lent! I wanted to share how I enjoyed the leftovers the following day. I kept the fish mixture cold, added the juice of about half a lime, and added half an avocado (chopped.) it turned out to be a yummy "ceviche" appetizer that I served with tortilla chips. Just wanted to share something easy and delicious to do with the leftover fish. :-). -Laurielle

I have made a couple of your recipes so far; each and everyone one of them has been a hit! I especially loved this one, so easy to make, my fiancee & I gobbled all of it up in no time :) Keep the great recipes coming!

This recipe was absolutely fabulous! I am relatively new to your website, but have already made over 20 recipes found here. Each one has come out exactly as you described and was so delicious! I love all the new recipes you post and particularly have been enjoying how quick and easy they are! Thanks for such a great website!

I just made these tonight. OH.MY.GOSH. They are seriously amazing. The only thing I did different was 1 jalepenio and a can of Rotel diced tomato with green chilies instead of 2c diced tomato. Will definitely be in our dinner rotation... again...WOW, amazing!

i love fish tacos so i thought i would give this a try. very easy recipe i might add. from a beginer cook to and experienced, this recipe will be okay for anyone. i thought they were pretty good but there was something missing and i dont know what. maybe if i hadnt taken the seeds and ribs out of the jalepenos it might have been better but my husband doesnt like spicy. this made tons! so im glad it was good so now ill have a good few days worth of lunch

These were amazing! My fish-loving 5-yr-old couldn't get enough & the hubby deemed them better than restaurant quality. My 7-yr-old, who only likes fish when I fry it, wasn't crazy about it. Big thumbs-up! I deem it a must-try! And, they were fun to make! Now, I can get the fish tacos I always want much cheaper than at restaurants AND I can control how spicy & healthy they are! Win-win!

Another great recipe! I didn't have enough fresh tomato, so subsituted half a cup with store bought salsa, turned out great. My avocaso wasn't rip eenough, so I served with a dollop of fat free greek yoghurt

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I made these tacos for dinner tonight, they came out very good. For the past 2 weeks I have been making skinnyTaste recipes for myself (WW), my boyfriend and my 3 year old. We all enjoy your recipes. :)

I made these for Cinco de Mayo for the husband and I...I have never been a fan of fish or tacos but I love all the ingredients in this recipe so I gave it a try! Oh my goodness-they were a hit! The avocado was necessary to me to add a little flavor. I think next time I will play around with a little seasoning but I will definitely be making these again. The husband had three tacos and he could have had more! Third recipe from Skinny Taste that has been a success! I'm getting hooked! By the way, I'm down to 149 today from 169 so I've lost 20 pounds so far! Thanks for the great skinny recipes!

I made these for dinner tonight and my fiance and I loved them! I got the thumbs up to add this into the "rotation" of dinners. Thank you so much for this awesome recipe! I will definitely be making these tacos again!

These fish tacos were AMAZING! The best I've ever had! I did have to change a few things depending on what I had available: I used lemon juice instead of lime and a bit of chili garlic sauce and cayenne pepper instead of jalapeño. I couldn't make it with avocado cuz they're not in season so I added roman lettuce and reduced fat sour cream. I also added a bit of feta cheese. ;)

I made these last night. The recipe was really easy to divide in half for just two of us. I had two tacos, my boyfriend had 3, and we still have some fish filling left over. I made a quick guacamole to go on the tacos, as I am not a fan of plain avocado slices. We both enjoyed this much more than I expected we would!

I made these today for lunch with what I had on hand...everything except the jalapenos. They were DELICIOUS. The best fish tacos I have ever made at home. I don't like all of the creamy sauces that restaurants tend to put on their fish tacos. These were so good I think I could eat them for dinner again tonight! Thank you! I have never made any recipe of yours that wasn't out of this world good.

I made this tonight for my boyfriend and myself. I lied and told him I knew how to cook. (I don't! Unless you count Lean Cuisine). I followed your recipe exactly and it was so good! The pictures along the way helped, ha! He was very impressed, but I definitely owe it to you Gina. Thank you so much for sharing and we'll definitely be having these again.

After stalking this site for a while, this was the first dish I made. OH MY WORD they are amazing! I still can't believe how good they are for you! I served with the Fiesta Lime Rice and Creamy Cilantro Tomatillo dressing. Divine!!! And all for 13 points!

I started making these as soon as you originally posted them and my boyfriend is crazy about them. He suggests them for dinner at least every other week. Tonight, for the first time, I made them for dinner while his teenage son was over. His son said they were the best fish tacos he has ever tasted and he loves fish tacos. Not a bad compliment from a teenage boy. Thank you for sharing all your amazing recipes!

I have tried numerous recipes from skinnytaste and I have so much confidence in her recipes that I have made a new a recipe for the first time & serve at a dinner party without trying it out first. But I am soooo glad that was not the case with the cilantro lime talapia tacos. They were extemely bland..we just loaded it with salsa to recover some taste. My family was disappointed and although lots of her recipes have been hits with us..this one wasnt.

I am a brand new cook and absolutely love your recipes! I am going to try this for dinner tonight! Quick question since I am still learning...when you first place the tilapia into the skillet and "cook unto the flesh starts to flake" what heat setting would you allow this to initially cook on and for how long? thank you!!

Hi Gina! Just want to say that I made this recipe for my family and we all loved it! I added a little fresh jalapeno on top of my tacos and made myself a Michelada using Heineken Premium Light and it paired AMAZINGLY!!

I don't like fish at all but I am type 2 and have low carb tortilla's and have been eating healthy and wanted to try eating fish. The first bite I was worried but WOW! it was amazing. I never post anything but steal recipe's off the net all the time. I felt I relly needed to say thanks for the recipe. I will be eating these again.

Wow, I stumbled upon your website looking for a good fish taco recipe from WW. Let me just tell you: YUM! I didn't have tomatoes but I just subbed some salsa and it was awesome! I added cabbage and it was deliciously satisfying. Thank you so much!

These were awesome! I topped them with the avocado and a spicy cole slaw (I buy the packaged one at the store, toss the dressing that comes with it, and make one with mayo, adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers, vinegar and a touch of stevia). Delicioso!

These are sooo tasty. We usually add another jalepeno or two and keep the seeds in. Then we top it with either shredded lettuce or cabbage and a squirt of lime. They are spicy and satisfying without being unhealthy. They can be kind of messy, but that hasn't stopped us from making them over and over again. Thanks for the recipe!!

These were SO flavorful! We loved them. Next time we might just add a quick slaw on top for some crunch - luckily we had some kale around to do the trick this time. We also topped with a teeny bit of greek yogurt to give it some creaminess. Loved it though.
